Most analyses are conducted using endline_1_merged.dta. This file contains merged data from several sources: our original sample, our first endline survey, measures of social media engagement among respondents who provided their social media handles, and measures of registrations for America Talks after our endline survey. These four datasets were merged on respondent email. Emails, names, social media handles, and other identifying details were dropped from this merged dataset to ensure respondent anonymity. 

baseline_merged.dta contains data on our original sample merged with our baseline survey.

endline_2_merged.dta contains data on our original sample merged with our second endline survey.

To generate clean all datasets and replicate all tables and figures, run the file Master.do.

All analyses were performed in Stata 18.0.
